does closing it put the ipad into sleep mode

Yes, closing it does put the iPad to sleep. For the price, I've found it honestly be one of the better iPad covers I've owned.

Yes, the Besdata cover does put the iPad mini to sleep. I have this cover and the original Apple cover (which I couldn't return or I would have) and they both work the same way. I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be satisfied with the Besdata if this kind of cover is what you're looking for.

Yes. Even better, it does it automatically when keyboard is connected. If the keyboard has gone to sleep, the on screen key board will appear. Just click on a key 2-3 times, keyboard reconnects and the onscreen keyboard dissappers. The keyboard goes to sleep after about 15 minutes. This applies to both iPhone and iPad.

Yes, when you close the lid, the IPAD turns off. You will need to reenter your password etc.

Hi there. I don't think it has to do this. I never shut my ipad completely down. I just hit the sleep key on the top right to make the screen dark. Hope that helps.

Sadly, no, closing the cover will not put the phone into sleep mode. You can easily access the power button when the case is closed, however, so putting it to sleep is very easy.

Hello wendi, I use a keyboard cover case which is way thicker and it allows the ipad to go to sleep. The beauty of the case is that it was designed to allow for the magnets to touch and allow it to go to sleep when the covers are on. Hope that helps. I love this case I am definetly getting more of them.

It puts the iPad to sleep unless you have the iPad set up to not go to sleep

When you close the case & the ipad is powered on, it will go to sleep. So when you open the case it awakens from sleep mode. To shut off the ipad completely press down on black button on the top right of the device. This also powers it back on.

Yes. It locks the ipad when you close it, and turns it back on when you open it.

I had the same problem, and then discovered that it depends upon the screen orientation. If the home button on the iPad is on the right side, in Landscape mode, then when you close the case the iPad will go into hibernation mode. If the home button is on the left side, it will not. Hope this helps.

No, it does not place the tablet into sleep mode when closed; if there is a setting to do this I am not aware of it, but the default settings do not do this. The tablet times out on its own. When you open the tablet you can press the space bar two times in a row to wake up the tablet.

No. It remains on/awake when you close the cover. You must activate the sleep mode manually by pressing the button on the side of the Nook.

Yes. When you open or close it, the ipad will respond accordingly by going to sleep or waking up. It doesn't do a full power cycle but I'm sure that's not what you were asking.

Yes, the screen will go dark when cover shuts. You hear a little click, like a camera shutter. When you open, you simply press the button and it wakes up.

Typically, I manually sleep my pad before closing the case. However if I neglect to do so sometimes it will turn siri on but it does not happen frequently enough for me to labe it a problem. Again, I usually put it in sleep mode anyway which can be considered a resolution.

I own the iPad 4 and have had no issues. The sleep function, as mentioned in previous reviews doesn't work, but honestly, turning it off at the top takes 1 second and it doesn't bother me.
